The NE wind did build between the periods of rain as predicted. I took out the 5.6 Idol and 140 Stingray board and 99cm foil. The Northeast wind is always gusty, but I was able to have some great runs.
I also got around on two downwind 360s - one in each direction. I only foiled the first half of each, but got around and continued in my initial path of travel. The water was nice and warm so I figured I should risk some falls and try some tricks as the temperature was quite a bit cooler than the last few days.
I was pretty happy when I was returning to the dock.

I now have a full year of weather data from my Tempest weather station that iWindsurf.com / weatherflow also reports as Key Harbour, Northeast is pretty rare in the summer. Southwest is so much more common in our area - especially in August, check out the charts below.
